We have used this great product for years, even prior to the acquisition by Sigma. Would really appreciate the operations improving to have the 10L bag size available, even prior to the pandemic this has been very poorly handled. Lack of bags to fill, failing QC...so we adjust by buying the smaller size at much higher cost and risk failed runs by having to manipulate filling our own bio-bags with numerous 1L size bottles.

Application
EX-CELL 420 is a complete medium developed and optimized for the serum-free growth of Sf9 and Sf21 insect cell lines. Cells can be subcultured directly into EX-CELL 420 from serum-free or serum-supplemented media without adaptation. Cultures in EX-CELL 420 routinely reach cell densities greater than 1 × 107 cells/mL with greater than 95% viability. Suspension cultures can be maintained, without refeeding, for more than 10 days. Sf9 and Sf21 cells have been carried for more than 20 passages in EX-CELL 420 with no loss of viability. Protein expression and virus production are improved over serum-containing media.
